If you’ve been a reader of this prolific (cough) blog for any length of time, you know that I. Am. So. Spoiled.
Friday night, ThatManILove and I met in Fort Worth, Texas, where we attended my company Christmas party. We woke up, and planned the day.
MLH: What all do we need to do today?
Janie: I’d like to go by Origins and pick up some stuff, then go by the camera store and look at a wide angle lens for the digital. Would that work?
MLH: No problems. Let’s go eat lunch, get it done, and we’ll head to the Omni Mandalay and be there around 3 p.m. to check in and get ready for tonight’s party. We'll even have a bit to rest!
And, off we go. I run into Origins, pick up the things I need, and we head to the camera store in the same shopping center. Except, it is no longer there. So, we search camera stores on the GPS, and head to the nearest one, the Fort Worth Camera Store.
We’re shopping, I’m talking to the Canon rep, and ThatManILove gives me one of those looks that shout “I'm about to make a move and you can't stop me!”
MLH: We’re buying that camera. Today.
Janie: Whaaaaaaat? My camera is fine, and almost brand new!
MLH: You’ve really stepped it up with your photography, and I do not want you to be limited in any way. It’s going to be Christmas and Happy Anniversary.
Janie: And my birthday for years to come!
MLH: (laughing) Yeah, well, we’ll see about that.
He also bought me a new lens, plus new Photoshop software (Yahoo! Watch out, world!), and a new flash and diffuser. He said “Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary!” It’s kind of neat, because on our wedding day way back then, he bought me a 35mm Canon SLR.
Getting all that took a while; once on the road, we headed to the Omni to rest a bit before readying for the partay. We were pulling into the Omni, turning the corner.
MLH: “What necklace are you wearing with that pretty dress? Did you bring your pearls?”
Janie: (Silence.)
MLH: You forgot your jewelry, didn’t you?
More silence. Look of chagrin. Affirmative head nod. One. Single. Curse. Word. Rhymes with Grit.
MLH: Turn around, girl, head to the Galleria, we need to buy you a necklace.
I did, and he did. A beautiful drop pendant with three diamonds.
I am spoiled rotten by ThatManILove. And I love it!
Oh, yeah. He LOVED LaToya the Sequoia. And he loved my Adrianna Papell dress I bought for the formal party. And he loved my surprise when he bought me the camera and the necklace. And he loved…
Never mind.

What a wonderful day. Thanks for showing me some light at the end of the toddlerhood tunnel. Oh I forgot, you're the one who constantly reminds me how things will only get harder...

I don't care what they say. Being spoiled rotten ROCKS. Now, if we could get your husband to start a blog and we'll get all our husbands to follow it.... WHAT COULD HAPPEN?!?!

I can see him wanting to suprise you and I am impressed with his class! But----And there is always is one---Do you have to tell every damn woman you know. Us guys already have a bad enough rap . Love ya anyway

I look forward to the results - of the new camera that is.
Elaine - I can't believe I missed you at the Galleria! I mean, there were only about a million people there!
nikkicrumpet - now, girl, that is funny!
Ann - I'll start being better, I promise.
VodkaMom - I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked. Heifer yourself.
Amy - without knowing it, you so busted Scott. See his post.
Scott - You know what MLH says...Jane, you don't have to tell everything you know! But when it's this good, senor, who could resist??? AND I don't love you anyway - I love you.
Junosmom - I'll try not to disappoint!!!
I am glad you are spoiled. It is sweet to spoil eachother.
I am confused about where you live.........???

Adventure Girl - I live in Midland. Well, I pay taxes there. My real home is a Toyota Sequoia, with frequent stops in a Hampton or Marriott. And no, I'm not a hooker.
Really, I live in Midland, Texas.
Jilly - you crack me up. I'll call you. Who knows, I may even be at the game with you!
Siggybaby - you freakin' rock!
oh, and Siggy - if he were trying to create a real diversion, he'd buy me a Perazzi over and under. Brand new. You can see them at Cabelas...under lock and key. Suhweet.
You didn't tell me about your new acquisitions when we were talking last night! Too cool! Hope to see you later in the week.
